Opposition leader, Mr. Peter Obi, has announced a break from public engagements.

Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, said the break was due to medical advice.

He announced this in a post on his official X handle on Saturday.

According to Obi, he has not been feeling well, a situation that started while he was attending an event in Enugu.

According to him, a doctor prescribed medication and recommended one or two days of rest.

“In obedience to the doctor’s advice, I will not be able to meet up with all my scheduled engagements within and outside the country this weekend. 

“I sincerely apologise for any inconveniences this might cause and humbly plead for understanding,” Obi wrote.

The former governor also highlighted his recent activities, including attending a tourism event in Enugu before travelling to Good Hope Specialist Hospital, Isulo, Orumba-South LGA of Anambra State.

He said he made an initial contribution of ₦10 million to support the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria in acquiring and revitalising the hospital.

“Yesterday, after speaking at a Tourism event in Enugu, I travelled to Good Hope Specialist Hospital, Isulo, Orumba-South LGA of Anambra State, which is being acquired by the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria, and made my initial modest contribution of ₦10 million to aid the Diocese’s acquisition and revitalisation of the hospital facility,” he said.

Obi commended the Diocese’s plan to transform the hospital into a comprehensive health complex with a School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Technology, describing healthcare as one of the most meaningful investments for the country.

From Isulo, he later proceeded to Owerri, Imo State, where he joined a dinner organised by Barr. Nnaemeka Maduagwu, in honour of former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai.
